Ugly Christmas Sweater Party to Benefit Food Bank of Northwest Indiana
Team Ugly to host 5th Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party in Crown Point, IN on Saturday, December 21, 2013.
Crown Point, IL, December 18, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Fricke's Bar and Recreation, known for their over-the-top Christmas and holiday decorations, will be the perfect scene for this year's event. Come dressed in your Ugliest Christmas Sweaters, Vests, Turtlenecks, Cardigans, Swants (sweater pants) or whatever your creative mind can conjure up. Join Team Ugly for food, drinks and prizes - free bowling if you wear an Ugly sweater.
While everyone is asked to wear their Ugliest and most tacky Christmas sweaters, Team Ugly would like for everyone to help provide Hope for the Holidays by bringing five or more canned, non-perishable foods or a suggested minimum donation of $5.00 to the event.
This year, the goal is to have a great time, get ugly, and support the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana – attendees can help by bringing the following most popular and requested items:
Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Mac & Cheese, Canned Fruit, Canned Vegetables, Canned Tuna, Canned Meats, Pasta
About Team Ugly
Brian Miller, Adam Paulson and Kevin Wool - better known as "Team Ugly" are three college friends turned business partners and co-owners of www.UglyChristmasSweaterParty.com the online mega store opened in 2009 and is home to 10,000 Ugly, Vintage, Tacky and Festive Christmas Sweaters. Their big business that ships sweaters to all corners of the globe, even military battleships, is operated out of a small warehouse space in Crown Point, Indiana, about 30 minutes outside of Chicago.
The fad that has become a phenomenon voyages out into another season of pub crawls, office parties, fundraisers and good ole' fashion house parties.
"We're incredibly excited to continue our efforts to host the most fun and ugly Christmas sweater parties in the world, and at the same time, help a local organization that provides so much assistance to our surrounding community," said Brian Miller, Co-Owner and Founder of www.UglyChristmasSweaterParty.com
"This is the time of year that everyone wants to celebrate the holiday season, spend time with family and friends, but most importantly give thanks for what we have and share our blessings with those that could use a helping hand," added Wool.
"All of the food and monetary donations will be given to the Food Bank of NWI, and what's really incredible is that their organization can feed five meals for every $1.00 donated! We're going to have a great time and help our community in a big way!" mentioned Paulson.
